Can we rewind to 4 years ago for a second. I was a dreamer, a lover (not a fighter), optimistic but still realistic, I really believed wholeheartedly that you get back what you put out in the world. Life and people have kicked my a** repeatedly these last 4 years but here I am still fighting to stay positive and optimistic.
Hola Chingona has always been my happy place where I could just be myself and feel like I was bringing positivity to this little part of the world. Unfortunately, the constant kicks to my personal life’s invisiballs have gotten in the way of that. Antepartum AND postpartum depression were just the cherry on top of my 💩sunday.
While I would love to keep my business/work and my personal life separate, It’s kind of hard to when you’re a super small business and can’t seem to get control of your personal life.
With all that said, I refuse to give up. I’m stubborn that way.
This year my hope is to find balance and happiness again. I want to remember and feel like myself. I want to have big ridiculous ideas that overflow into Hola Chingona and I want to be more present in the shop like I used to be.
My husband and I are working hard to make a schedule that works so that we can have regular store hours again. Between my other full time job, his full time school schedule, and our almost 1 year old baby, it’s been a bit difficult but I promise we’re coming back with a regular shop schedule and hopefully soon we’ll be able to hire a small team to help us.🤞🤞🤞
Happy new year, everyone!
Apologies for my sad girl rant. Just trying to keep it real.
Chillona pero Chingona. 🖤
